[squid-users] whats wrong with this url regex line

[robert k Wild]

thanks Amos

#allow special URL paths
acl special_url url_regex "/usr/local/squid/etc/urlspecial.txt"
http_access allow special_url
#
#deny MIME types
acl mimetype rep_mime_type "/usr/local/squid/etc/mimedeny.txt"
http_reply_access allow special_url
http_reply_access deny mimetype

the reason why i added this line

http_reply_access allow special_url

in my mime lines is because

http://updater.maxon.net/server_test
<http://updater.maxon.net/server_test.*>

wants to download an octet stream and it was keep on denying it
